Consumer Description

WHILE GOING 55 TO 60 MPH HIT A SMALL BUMP WITH RIGHT FRONT TIRE CAUSES VIOLENT SHAKING OF FRONT END, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ALL YOU CAN DO IS STOMP THE BRAKES. YOU MUST BRING THE TRUCK DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. ONLINE RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THE DODGE DEATH WOBBLE TO BE THE PROBLEM. DODGE/MOPAR IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT OFFER NO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
